While it is not completely perfect, I suggest seeing the Costner film (based on books about and tapes of the administration) titled Thirteen Days. It is the quickest way to get a good idea of the tension and the situation.
The blockade (quarantine) during the missile crisis was because Cuba was (viewed as) a pawn of the USSR and they placed rocket-powered nuclear warheads on Cuban soil aimed at the USA. The blockade was a compromise measure by the Kennedy administration between invading Cuba and thus setting off a likely nuclear exchange with the USSR due to treaties and (being seen to be) doing nothing and being an appeaser to the USSR. Bobby Kennedy worked very hard to handle the politics in the USA and to get buy-in from the cabinet and other stakeholders in the government to avoid military action. The Blockade prevented further buildup of offensive arms aimed at the USA in the Western Hemisphere and gave the USA and USSR time to negotiate and it gave the USSR time to dismantle the in-place missiles and to save face. Essentially it was a strategic response to an aggressive move by the USSR in the cold war.
